Other than written or drawn stuff from my kids, gnu--much of which I still have--the best present I ever received was some baked goods from a young man whose dog we saved in an ice rescue. He was a bit challenged but to show his thanks he baked us cookies. They were delicious.
OK, they were terrible, BUT, the guys on the department ate 'em all.
I do not care about the store-bought stuff or the fancy stuff. Something that shows some thought works for me. That bag you got for Nick would do the trick for this ol' boy.
